In order to index text fields in XML databases for similarity queries, M-Trees may be applied. However, some datasets experiments using M-Trees for this purpose resulted in low qu...
— One of the critical issues in search engines is the size of search indexes: as the number of documents handled by an engine increases, the search must preserve its efficiency,...
1 We consider the problem of similarity search in applications where the cost of computing the similarity between two records is very expensive, and the similarity measure is not a...
